March 7-11

We have a several great events this week: Monday - students that made their AR goal get to go bowling @ 9:30 (76% of 2nd grade DLI students made their goal!! - That's a fabulous improvement over last trimester when only 33% of our students made it). Tuesday - Irish dance assembly @ 1:30 Thursday - Volunteer Recognition Night @ 6:00 PM

Here is what we will be working on in English class this week:

• phonics: assessment (synonyms, antonyms, homophones, homonyms, decoding 2 syllable words, spelling multi-syllabic words that end with /k/)
• phonics: murmur diphthongs AR, OR, & ER
• writing: continue working on our shared version of informational writing (we are writing about things to do in Logan)
• reading: continue reading Theodore Roosevelt (this ties in with our informational writing - students are learning about how to pull information from a text and use it as facts/details in writing)

We haven't set new AR goals yet (we don't know what date to put in since we haven't been able to get hold of anyone at the Aquatic Center to confirm that as the reward), but they can still take tests that will count towards the new goal when it is set.
